In a victory for families of transgender youth and their medical providers, a federal judge has preliminarily blocked enforcement of an Idaho law banning gender-affirming health care treatments for transgender people under 18 years old.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld an injunction against an Idaho law barring transgender athletes from participating in student athletics.

An Idaho law criminalizing gender-affirming health care for transgender youth is being challenged by families in federal court.

Federal district court Judge Nye ruled that a transgender athlete’s lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Idaho’s law—HB 500—is not moot, meaning the case may proceed while the law remains blocked.

Today the House State Affairs Committee sent House Bill 675, a bill that would criminalize medical professionals who provide treatment and care for transgender youth, to the Idaho House of Representatives with a “do pass” recommendation.
